Awesome thing to happen within a million years
Within the next million years, the star Betelgeuse is expected to explode into a supernova, which will keep the Earth lit up day and night for weeks. Or rather it will light up the sky 640 years later when light from the explosion reaches us. So here’s hoping it already happened like 600 years ago, because it’d be sweet to see that while I’m still alive. Via Eno Sarris.
Which Major Leaguer would you box?
Over at Big League Stew, ‘Duk asks a very important question: If you could box a Major Leaguer, who would it be? I’d probably pick Cole Hamels, because for a variety of reasons I feel like I might actually have a shot.
Mark Sanchez still awesome
Mark Sanchez felt comfortable messing with Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan before he was even drafted, because Mark Sanchez is just that cool. Dude’s got a wiseass streak a mile wide. Fun fact: He also pantsed Brian Schottenheimer at training camp this year. I’ve seen footage. It deemed unfit for online posting because you got a brief glimpse of, ahh, Brian’s Schottenheimer.

And even more on David Wright’s streakiness

Lion tacos to be available in Arizona
Lion tacos! Wow. I had no idea you could eat lion. I really have no reference point for how it would taste because I’ve never eaten any cat large or small. Hat tip to Brad.
Dillon Gee rocking the full Casey Blake
The biggest, and most underreported story out of yesterday’s fan meet-and-greet at Citi Field? Check out the beard on Dillon Gee. Not bad, young man.
Taco Truck towed for advocating Taco-Truck rights
“Protesters reportedly chanted, ‘We’re hungry for justice’ as the truck was hauled away.”
Huh.
Brian Cashman more or less admitted that the Rafael Soriano contract was Hal Steinbrenner’s idea, not his own. As Emma Span writes: “Huh.” In more hilarious news, the Yankees were apparently unironically pursuing Carl Pavano. He was the best starting pitcher left on the market, they need a starter and they have the funds so it actually isn’t horrendously unreasonable, it’s just, well, you know.
OMG OMG OMG
Japanese researchers expect to clone a woolly mammoth within five years. Those things are awesome looking, and if they were really hunted to extinction, they might also be delicious. Let’s get on the reintroduction of woolly mammoths to nature. What could possibly go wrong?
